If she received a 1099-MISC, she must file a tax return as anyone earning more than $400 of self-employment income during the year must file a return. Her 1099-MISC is considered self-employment income if her income is entered in Box 7. If she has no self-employed expenses to claim, she can use the Deluxe version of TurboTax. If she does have expenses to claim, she needs the Self-Employed version or Home and Business.
